Mapeblox PKG is a packaging grease for use in shield tunneling with TBMs. Both products are produced at MAPEI’s North America plant facilities.

“MAPEI UTT North America’s TBM products/consumable line continues to fill out. MAPEI UTT North America TBM program is anchored with our industry-leading, two-component grout program, along with our industry-leading soil conditioning program, where MAPEI UTT North America offers the most eco-friendly soil conditioning products to the North American TBM industry,” said MAPEI UTT - Country Manager James Pinkley. “These products are supported by production at our 27 plant facilities throughout the US and Canada.”

MAPEI UTT’s North America TBM product line is technically supported by Dr. Cristina Onate, PhD, MAPEI UTT’s Business Development Leader and Tanner Murt, MAPEI UTT’s Sales and Support Engineer, along with numerous MAPEI R&D labs, chemists, scientists and MAPEI UTT’s global TBM team, who all possess decades of TBM experience worldwide.

MAPEI UTT’s TBM offerings are manufactured/produced at MAPEI’s North America facilities to allow for first-in-class service to the TBM industry throughout the United States and Canada. With MAPEI being the manufacturer and plants being located regionally, MAPEI UTT can offer customers direct service and cost-effective solutions that are available regionally/locally to the TBM job sites, which shortens the supply chain with domestic production, warehousing and on-time delivery.
